The march began at the Washington Monument and ended with a rally at the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his  historic \"I Have a Dream\" speech, advocating racial harmony. Many words have been written about that day, but few so delicate and powerful as those presented here by award-winning author and illustrator Shane W. Evans. When combined with his simple yet compelling illustrations, the thrill of the day is brought to life for even the youngest reader to experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe March \u003c\/i\u003eis one of \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews' \u003c\/i\u003eBest Children's Books of 2012\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“… [a] well-told and superbly rendered book.” —\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal, STARRED\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This makes a pivotal event in our nation's history accessible to our youngest citizens without compromising any of its power.” —\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“…there's an iconic flavor to the scenes, their streamlined compositions and simplified human figures standing in for the experience of many…” —\u003ci\u003eBCCB\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Share with readers of all ages as a beautiful message about peaceful protest and purposeful action.” —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews, Starred\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Many young children know there was a march on Washington a long time ago and that Martin Luther King Jr. gave a famous speech that day.
